Answer:

Hot magma rises from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges pushing the plates apart. Earthquakes occur along the fractures that appear as the plates move apart.:

All of the earth crusts are cycled through, each plate goes down into the plates crust, and gets heated and then comes back up as new crust after many many years of cycling through. So, when the plates sink into each other, the other side of the plates pull apart from each other.

The vaporization of 1 mole of liquid water (system) at 100.9 C, 1.00 atm, is endothermic.

yan [13]

Answer:

a) The work done is 10.0777 kJ

b) The water's change in internal energy is -122.1973 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

1 mol of liquid water

T₁ = temperature = 100.9°C

P = pressure = 1 atm

Endothermic reaction

T₂ = temperature = 100°C

1 mol of water vapor

VL = volume of liquid water = 18.8 mL = 0.0188 L

VG = volume of water vapor = 30.62 L

3.25 moles of liquid water vaporizes

Q = heat added to the system = -40.7 kJ

Questions: a) Calculate the work done on or by the system, W = ?

b) Calculate the water's change in internal energy, ΔU = ?

Heat for 3.25 moles:

$Q_{1} =3.25*(-40.7)=-132.275kJ$

The work done:

$W=-nP*delta(V)=-3.25*101.33*(0.0188-30.62)=10077.6637J=10.0777kJ$

The change in internal energy:

$delt(U)=W+Q_{1} =10.0777-132.275=-122.1973kJ$

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of 2,3-dimethylbutane. use the molecular formula for the alkane (c before

Nuetrik [128]

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

Step 1. Write the condensed structural formula for 2,3-dimethylbutane.

(CH_3)_2CHCH(CH_3)_2

Step 2. Write the molecular formula.

C_6H_14

Step 3. Write the unbalanced chemical equation.

C_6H_14 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O

Step 4. Pick the most complicated-looking formula (C_6H_14) and balance its atoms (C and H).

1C_6H_14 + O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Step 5. Balance the remaining atoms (O).

1C_6H_14 + (19/2)O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Oops! Fractional coefficients!

Step 6. Multiply all coefficients by a number (2) to give integer coeficients..

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

According to reference table adv-10, which is the strongest reducing agent?

Mumz [18]

Li(s) (answer A)
Li is strongest reducing agent because of the lowest standard reduction potential. when something is oxidized, it reduces another substance, becoming a reducing.Hence Lithium is strongest reducing agent. Reducing agent is stronger when it has a more positive oxidation potential.

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1

Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

$\tt 1s^22s^22p^4\rightarrow ground~state\\\\1s^22s^22p^33s^1\rightarrow excited~state$
